This British Standard gives recommendations on the design,
installation, testing and maintenance of rainwater harvesting systems
supplying non-potable water in the UK.
It covers systems supplying water for domestic water uses (in residential,
commercial, industrial or public premises) that do not require potable
water quality such as laundry, WC flushing and garden watering. It does
not cover systems supplying water for drinking, food preparation and
cooking, dishwashing and personal hygiene.
NOTE Although this Standard does not give specific recommendations
relating to the use of rainwater for fire suppression or commercial
irrigation, these applications are not excluded.
It covers individual and communal systems, and those providing
stormwater control. It does not cover water butts.
It also does not cover product design for specific system components.
It applies to retrofitting and new build.
